In presenting our new catalog we avail ourselves 
of the opportunity to thank our many loyal and appre¬ 
ciative patrons for the friendly letters they have writ¬ 
ten us, attesting their interest in our plants. The 
past season has been a notably pleasant one, out¬ 
standing in our thirty-five years of agreeable rela¬ 
tions with our friends, old and new, and we can wish 
for nothing better than a continuance and a strength¬ 
ening of such good fellowship and cooperation. 
We have repeatedly urged our good friends to 
visit Shady Lawn Nursery, and give us the pleasure 
and privilege of making our acquaintance with them 
personal, and we cordially renew the invitation. 
Here there is no “high-pressure” salesmanship; we 
offer good will and service, and the prevailing spirit 
is fraternal, in the common bond of the love of na¬ 
ture, so beautifully exemplified in all who are de¬ 
voted to the culture of plants and gardens. 
In the busy seasons, when it appears that the or¬ 
ders come in a tidal wave, all at once, our resources 
are sometimes put to a severe test, but we exert our¬ 
selves to the utmost effort to expedite all shipments 
and see that extra care is used in selection and pack¬ 
ing. It will happen, now and then, that a shipment 
will be a little late; but our patrons are generously 
considerate, and that is all we can ask of them. In 
the window of one of our local stores is a sign bear¬ 
ing the following legend: “If we please you, tell oth¬ 
ers! If not, tell us!” And we make the same re¬ 
quest of our own friends and patrons. 
May we invite your special attention to the ar¬ 
rangement of our $1.00 Specials? They are offered 
in units of ten, all for *$1.00, instead of being priced 
at—let us say, for example, 25 cents per plant, as in 
many typical catalogs. It is just as easy for us to 
dig and handle ten plants, as it would be with one 
or two, so we give our customers the benefit of the 
quantity order. Furthermore, for the small gardens, 
we have cut these units in two; and you can have 
fifty cents’ worth of each of two varieties, at a total 
of $1.00. 
Please be assured that if you desire information on 
anything whatever, in relation to your plants or your 
garden, we shall be more than gratified by the op¬ 
portunity to place our knowledge and the advantages 
of our four decades of experience at your disposal. 
Yours always sincerely.
